Forum slow, rendering blank pages and redirecting to front page on post edits

Memory Usage on Google Chrome.

I was also concerned with the GTMetrix tests s they run from a completely different location altogether as my browser. Very strange.

All seems 'normal' to me. Don't think the recommended optimisations in that test you ran would make any difference to your personal experience.

35 minutes this morning just to update my profile page? Constant errors. Make a change to my profile page, save, javascript error message, save again, javascript error, save again, finally it saves. Busy screen recording this.

@tonymacx86 Here's a screen recording of the user experience. This was done on Safari but the very same behavior exists on Chrome and Firefox but I do not have time do screen recording of them all. The site actually performs even worse in Chrome rendering blank pages more frequently than Safari.

Here's a site of mine that gets between 1 > 2 million hits a month and is a Google Adsense premium site meaning I am allowed to use all possible Adsense units that normal Adsense users are not allowed to use. So this means maximum ad slots, matched content ads, mobiles ads, mobile pop overs and mobile pop unders. Look at the difference in the loading time and amount of requests.

@vulgo @tonymacx86 please understand I am trying to help you guys.

From a user perspective the site is just unusable right now. My last post with a screengrab video posted to youtube showing these behaviors was held for moderation, I trust you will please view the video to see how the real user experience and once you have seen it I am happy to delete the video from youtube.

I've been on this for many years but right now it is totally unusable to me. I cannot spend 30+ minutes trying to do one post or even a reply to someone.

You are the only user experiencing this issue so it must be something in your equipment, configuration or your internet connection.

I've tested this from multiple locations and the same happens. So that's tests from South Africa on a 10mb up / 10mb down line. And tests from my servers in Canada sitting on a 1Gbps network. Anyhow never mind.
